Luthor (DC Black Label Edition)

by Brian Azzarello, Lee Bermejo (Illustrator)

Overview

Superman has been called many things since he first appeared in the skies above Metropolis: the Man of Steel, the World's Greatest Hero—even the Big Blue Boy Scout. Now his oldest and most implacable foe has given him a new title: Humanity's Greatest Threat.

In this compelling study of the ultimate clash of wills, the New York Times bestselling and Eisner Award-winning team of writer Brian Azzarello and artist Lee Bermejo (Batman: Damned, Joker) opens the mind of Lex Luthor to reveal the true motivations behind his legendary animosity toward the Last Son of Krypton—as well as his ultimate plan to defeat his invulnerable adversary.

WHEN I SEE YOU, I SEE SOMETHING NO MAN CAN EVER BE. I SEE THE END. THE END OF OUR POTENTIAL. THE END OF OUR ACHIEVEMENTS. THE END OF OUR DREAMS. YOU ARE MY NIGHTMARE.
